"I agree Mr. Wood" Katie said" oh yeah you remember Natalie my sister?" introducing her to Oliver "Natalie this is Oliver the most obsessive quidditch captain on the planet"
"Hey" Oliver said looking slightly offended, but Katie didn't take that into consideration Natalie giggled at the commit" and "Oliver this is my sister future mistress of magic"
" Ah, Miss Natalie it is very nice to finally meet you, after all these years your sister has been talking about you, I was beginning to think you were made up" Oliver said with a smile causing Natalie and Katie to blush
"H-h-h-h-hh-h-hi o-o-o l-iver, nnice t-t-t-to mee-eet you" Natalie stuttered while shaking his hand. As soon as she let go of his hand she was off running towards the train.
"Well she is interesting" Oliver said with an amused look on her face
"Oliver" Katie said slightly smacked his arm "that is my sister, you better be nice"
"Okay but just because she is you your sister"
"OLIVER"
"What!" he said putting on an innocent face
"Come on lets just go"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And with that they were off to find a compartment on the train. But before Katie could walk two feet into the train she was tackled by twin redheads, Fred and George.
"Fred, hi, it is nice to see you too but umm I would like to be able to breathe so if you could let go of me that would be nice" she said out of breath.
"Fred! Katie you should be ashamed of yourself, I am George" one of the twins said
"Yes Katie you should know that I am Fred" the other added
"Oh George I am so sorry" she said to the first one, he smiled like he was holding something back. A few seconds of silence passed before he finally said anything
"Katie we are just joking with you, I am really George and he is Fred" he said with a giant smile
"Guys that was mean you shouldn't be playing jokes on Katie" Oliver said speaking for the first time since they had gotten on the train.
"Okay captain Olli what ever you say!" George said causing Oliver to blush
"Guys be nice" Katie piped up
"So favoring the guys Katie we should have known" a girls voice said behind her
"ANGIE, ALICIA Oh My Gosh…. HELLO" Katie said while spinning around and hugging her some of her best friends
"Well Katie it is nice to see you too but we should really go get a seat" Alicia said hoping for the chance to Ask Katie about her summer as well as Oliver.
"Okay if you insist" Katie said not aware that they had plans to interrogate her
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
They had found a compartment when George and Fred Dragged Oliver out of the compartment claming to go find the food trolley.
"Katie spill… what is going on between you and Mr. Obsessive Quidditch Captain?" Angelina said breaking the silence.
"Nothing I swear" Katie managed to stutter out.
"n-n-no" a voice said quietly "K-k-Katie don't l-l-l-li-lie to th-th-th-them"
"And just who might you be?" Alicia said in an accusing tone of voice
"N-n-n-Natalie" the girl said softly
"Guys this is my sister Natalie" Katie said quickly hoping to help her sister avoid embarrassment.
"Awww, she is so cute, Katie why didn't you tell us you had a sister? 6 years and you haven't told us a thing about her" said Angelina a bit shocked that Katie would keep something like this from them.
"Sorry guys"
"Nat, why don't you go see if you can find some other 1st years" Katie said hoping to encourage her sister to meet new people and make friends.
"O-o-o-okay" her sister said in soft harsh tone, as she got up and left the compartment.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Oliver, Fred and George didn't actually go looking for the food Trolley as they told the girls. They had been walking down the aisle when they saw an empty compartment and shoved Oliver in.
"Hey" Oliver said rather confused at the moment "what is all this about?"
"We wanted to ask you some… Questions" Fred said dragging out the last word.
"About? " Oliver replied still rather confused.
"Katie, Duh" George answered.
"What about her?" Oliver asked still rather dumbstruck.
"What is the deal between you two? Come on we both know, hell all of Gryffindor knows that you like her. Ask her out, be the adventurous guy we all know resides inside our dear captain" Fred said in a very serious manner.
"I just don't know guys" Oliver said unsure of what to do.
"If you are not going to then I will ask Katie out" Fred said receiving a glare from Oliver.
"If you don't ask her out" George started to say.
"Someone one else will" Fred finished for him...
"I know but she probably doesn't even like me to begin with you know" Oliver said causing Fred and George to look at each other, however this did not go unnoticed. "Okay what do you guys know that I don't? "
"Well" George started
"We can't say we are sworn to secrecy!" Fred finished.
"You are?" Oliver said "thanks I am your bloody best mate and you won't even tell me something about Katie, it makes me feel good"
"Sorry but we wont betray this persons trust," Fred stated
"Yeah you haven't seen her mad" George added.
"What ever lets just go" Oliver said a bit unconvinced that he couldn't get it out of the twins. They got up and went back to the original compartment.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"So Katie spill, you sister seems to think there is something going on… we want to know also." Alicia said persuading her to indulge with their confidence.
"Nothing same old same old, we didn't even hang out this summer." She said sounding sort of sad
"Well Why not?" Alicia demanded an answer out of her
"I don't know, we were both busy I guess" Katie replied
"Now the real question is …. Did you want to?" Angelina said with a sly grin on her face, causing Katie to instantly blush.
"I- i-i-I don't know, it would have been nice"
"What would have been nice?" Oliver said as he came into the compartment causing Katie to jump a couple of feet and land on the floor"sorry if I scared you but you didn't answer my question"
"N-n-n-n nothing" Katie stuttered
"Katie, Katie, Katie, you are starting to sound like your sister, "Oliver said instantly regretting his choice of words. There was a moment of silence where no-one said anything. Alicia, Angelina, Fred and George all turned and to look at Katie, who seemed to be taking her time trying to see if that was really what Oliver just said... A couple of minuets had past when Oliver said something to break the silence."Katie ..." he began
"No Oliver," Katie cut him off "of all things I thought I knew about you, I never knew you would sink that low to make fun of my sister who has a problem that she can not control. God Oliver I thought you were different than that, how could you be so Slytherin like" Katie said getting madder by the moment. Oliver reached out to touch her arm to reassure her, but she moved backwards to avoid it. " don't, I should have listened to my mom to begin with." She said trying to hold back her fear, and sadness "she knew something like this was going to happen someday, I am just upset it was it was today" and with that she stormed out of the compartment leaving everyone shocked and speechless.
"Katie wait" Oliver managed to choke out. But she just continued to walk out. "Great I just messed everything up" Oliver muttered almost to himself
"That you have" Fred said, being one of the first ones to talk
"Man am I hungry, when are we going to get there?" George stated
"Will you SHUT up?" Angelina said for the first time since the boys had entered the compartment." Only you could think of food at a time like this." And almost on cue the train started to slow down.
"What we can't be there already" Alicia said, checking her watch.
"So why are we stopping?" George and Fred asked at the same time
"GUYS shut up" Angelina said again for the second time
"Ummm Angie …where is Katie?" Alicia said
"You three Stay put we are going to get Katie" Angie stated hoping that the twins would listen to her for the first time. A few minuets had passed when they had returned only to find Oliver missing
"YOU two are horrible, I told you guys not to leave, and look what happens, will you ever listen to me?" Alicia said starting to get mad
"Alicia Don't gets mad at us we told him not to go" Fred started
"But he wouldn't listen to us" George finished
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Katie quickly found a compartment to her self. And went in closing the door behind her she let the tears that she had been holding in fall. She was sitting there for a good couple of minuets when the compartment opened.
"k-k-k-Katie?" a small voice squeaked out
"Nats? Is that you?" Katie replied sniffling
"Yeah, k-Katie are you o-okay?" her sister asked
"I am fine Nats, don't worry" Katie answered
"k-Katie I am your s-s-ist-ter I am supposed to w-worry" Natalie said trying to reassure her sister
"Nats I am sorry I kicked you out of our compartment, it wasn't very nice" Katie said still rather sad though she had stopped crying
"k-Katie" Natalie started as she wiped the tears from her sister's face. "Don't worry about it, I met some new friends."
"Natalie, you didn't stutter," Katie said smiling.
"I d-didn't?" she asked rather confused to if she had actually done it.
"Yeah why don't you go back to your friends" Katie suggested.
"o-okay Katie, b-but you know w-where to find m-m-m-me" Natalie reminded her.
Natalie left the compartment leaving Katie alone to think about everything. She had been deep in though when the train started to slow down, and eventually come to a complete stop.
'We can't be there already' Katie thought to herself. The door opened as someone entered and the lights flickered for a moment and went off.
"Katie?" the voice of the person who just entered said.
"What?" she replied still rather mad, but it was obvious to the other occupant that she had been crying.
"Katie I'm …" but before he could say anything more the door slid slowly open. Barely visible was a cloaked figure that towered to the ceiling, its face was completely hidden beneath its hood. There was a hand extending from the cloak and it was glistening, grayish, slimy-looking, and scabbed, like something dead that had decayed in water… the thing beneath the hood, what ever it was drew a long, slow, rattling breath as though it were trying to suck something more than air from its surroundings. Katie stood there petrified afraid to move. She knew what this creature was; she had been near one before. But she couldn't remember anything of the previous time when she had been near them. When an intense cold swept over her, going deeper than her skin, It was insider her chest it was in side her very heart. But before she could do anything about it a voice came to her mind.
"nooooooo" the voice seemed to be yelling " I didn't do it I am innocent, you cant take me away from my family" the voice became louder and it scared Katie more and more " I didn't do anything, I have two children to raise you cant do this to me" and then the voice was silenced.
Katie tried to remain standing or at least try to sit. But her eyes rolled up into her head. She was drowning in cold there was a rushing in her ears as though of water. She was being dragged downward. But before she reached the ground a pair or arms caught her. Her eyes snapped open. And the lights had been back on.
"Katie? Are you okay" the person who had entered the compartment seconds before the creature had asked. She quickly thought it was her sister.
"Natalie… where? Did you hear what I heard?" she said still rather sad and not aware or who was really in the compartment with her. "Nats what? Where are you?"
"Katie shhhh" the voice said making it clear it was not Natalie she had been facing the person's chest.
"Please go find my sister" she pleaded with the person. He placed her back on the seat as she shivered in coldness.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A dark figure crept into the compartment that the 4 were in. and an intense cold swept over them but before they could realize anything. It was gone. And almost immediately Oliver came back into the compartment.
"Why you little, GRRr you couldn't even listen to me." Alicia started causing the twins to grab an arm and hold her back.
"Listen I need to find Katie's sister where is she?" Oliver said in a quick manner
"Ummm why don't you try the 1st year's compartments?" Fred suggested
"That or try a compartment I think 3 down" George added
"Thanks" Oliver said leaving the compartment
"That was weird" Angelina said as the twins nodded in agreement
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Oliver instantly found Natalie in the fist compartment he looked in.
"Natalie?" he asked
"y-yes?" she said quivering in fear
"Come here Katie wants to talk to you" Oliver said with his voice dripping in his Scottish accent
"o-okay, guys I-I'll be back so-on" she managed to say as she followed him out of the room and back to where he left Katie.
"KATIE" her sister yelled as she entered the compartment.
"Nats? Is that you?" she asked
"Yes Katie …" Natalie answered
"Gosh nats are you okay? "She said giving her sister a hug almost squeezing her to death
"Katie …your. I can't breath" her sister managed to spit out.
"oh sorry" Katie said letting go of her." Nats did you hear something when they came by?"
"Katie ..." Natalie started to say but broke out in tears "I heard dad yelling and pleading"
"Nats I didn't "Katie said as tears came to her eyes. She sat there silently remember that awful night.
Flashback
"Annie, I didn't do anything you know that right? " Katie's father said
"I will always believe your innocence," Anna Katie's mother said embracing her husband in a hug.
"Promise me you will watch over Katie and Natalie for me." Her father asked her mother when a sudden noise of several people apperating.
'Mr. Jacob Bell, you have been found guilty for the murder of two muggles as well as Ms. Madelyn Bones" one of them stated.
"I didn't do it I swear! You are putting an innocent person away" Mr. Bell shouted
"Innocent people do kill others Mr. Bell" the same man stated
"I DIDN'T KILL ANY ONE I swear on my son's grave" Mr. Bell shouted again getting red and angry
"Jacob watches your voice you'll wake the girls" Anna said trying to calm him down.
"You can't do this I have girls to raise." Mr. Bell said in a quiet voice now
"I am sorry I don't decided if you are innocent or guilty I just am here to take you" one of the other men stated
It had become quite obvious that the girls were now us as Katie and Natalie came down the stairs
" Annie please take them back up stairs I don't want them to see this." Jacob pleaded with his wife
"Kates why don't you go take you sister up and I'll be up in a few minuets to tuck you to bed."
"Okay mother, "the young Katie said but before she turned to go upstairs she ran and gave her father a hug" I love you daddy"
"I wub you too "the young Natalie said also. And with that they ran up the stairs. when the they got to the top Katie turned around and smiled and said " good night daddy see you in the morning" but Jacob could not do a thing but stand there as tears ran down his face.
""Nooooooo" Mr. Bell yelled, "I didn't do it I am innocent, you cant take me away from my family" he said coming louder. "I didn't do anything, I have two children to raise you can't do this to me" and then the voice was silenced. The several people had stunned them and carried them away. As soon as they were out the door Anna bell sank to the grown and burst into tears.
